Madara, let's change the world together!

With the support of a loan from the Chamber of Commerce, he opened Ichiraku Ramen ahead of schedule.

Dressed in ordinary clothes, Kiyoi Gen, Kiyoi Ai, Kazesa, and Shizune are all waiting for the boss's delicious ramen.

"Lord Yuan, thank you."

Mute thanked them very politely.

Every time Kiyoshi Gen invited her to dinner, Shizune would say this.

"It's nothing. Rather, it's been hard on you taking care of Tsunade."

Kiyoi Gen once again criticized Tsunade's life skills.

But that is indeed the case.

After a month, because she was in a hurry to drink, Tsunade turned into a human shredder at the quarry, crushing countless hard stones and increasing the efficiency of stone collection fivefold.

According to the quarry manager, Tsunade would always call his name whenever she smashed the rock wall, as if she were venting her anger.

Kiyoshi didn't say anything about this, but he repeatedly told Tsunade in Shizune's ear that she was bad at taking care of herself, had a bad temper and couldn't get married, and was an alcoholic and gambler with no self-awareness.

The next day, he received a report from his subordinates that the quarry's efficiency had increased again.

Tsunade's frequency of calling out "Kiyoi Gen" and "that bastard" also increased significantly.

"Hey!"

"Lord Yuan, please enjoy my handmade, secret-recipe tonkotsu ramen."

The young man placed the ramen in front of the four people with a proud expression.

This was his masterpiece, and since the boss of the Konoha Merchant Guild happened to be visiting, he decided to use it to entertain him.

Just as Kiyoshi Gen picked up the spoon, a dark shadow climbed onto his fingers.

【Aino, after I taste it, I'll make you a special one when I get home.】

After receiving a reply from his lover, the shadow seemed satisfied and shrank back.

Kiyoshi Gen smiled and took a sip of soup.

After breaking that barrier, Aino became more and more adorable.

"Really delicious!"

Jingyin was surprised; it was just a ramen shop on the street, yet the ramen tasted so good.

Let's eat at Ichiraku Ramen with Tsunade-sama next time.

"Speaking of which, Tsunade is probably cursing me again right now."

Ugh?

Silently look up.

Is it possible that going out for a drink could cause problems?

In the eastern commercial district, Tsunade was angrily slamming her fist on the table.

"Why did you only sell me one bottle?!"

"I have paid off all my debts!"

A whole month!

I haven't been able to properly drink for a month!

She worked tirelessly, eight hours a day, going to countless quarries and breaking down countless mountains to pay off her debts!

Why can't she drink in peace?!

The last time she drank was when Jiraiya treated her, and it was a pitiful three bottles.

"Tsunade-sama."

The izakaya owner said, sounding aggrieved.

"Lord Yuan has ordered that each shop can only sell you one bottle of wine in order to prevent you from drinking excessively and spending money recklessly."

"If you'd like to drink more, you can go to the next shop."

I! ! !

Tsunade felt a surge of frustration rise to her chest.

What kind of person is this?!

They're even more controlling than her parents who passed away from illness!

She just wanted to get drunk and see Nawaki and Duan's faces.

Thinking of this, Tsunade fell silent and simply drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp.

The scalding hot liquor went down my throat.

Because the clear wine was poured too quickly, it flowed down her pink lips to her neck and then into that deep valley.

Come to think of it, she has been thinking about the rope tree and the broken tree much less often lately.

During the day, he would mutter that bastard's name while smashing rocks in the quarry, earning the bastard's money in the process.

At night, I would read a book and think about how to pass on my mantle to the still young Shizune.

Indeed, when you're busy, you don't miss the people who have passed away as much.

But can she really get through this?

Tsunade slumped onto the table, her pupils unfocused, her thoughts drifting back to the past.

If it were you, what would you want me to do?

Should I completely forget you and start a new life?

But I can't do it.

"belch!"

The izakaya owner was very surprised to see Tsunade get drunk after drinking only one bottle of sake.

'Let's report this to Lord Genji.'

After an unknown amount of time, Tsunade remained slumped over the table, her consciousness hazy.

"Lady Tsunade!"

"Tsunade-neechan."

Who?

Are two people calling her?

When Tsunade opened her eyes, she saw her disciple Shizune and the obedient pink-haired girl who often accompanied Kiyoi Gen.

"After hearing the news, my brother asked me to bring Jingyin to find you."

Kiyoi Ai draped the green jacket with the word "gamble" embroidered on the back of Tsunade's jacket back over Tsunade's back.

"You only drank one bottle of wine, but you already smell so strongly of alcohol on you."

Tsunade didn't speak, but just looking at the girl made her feel calm, and the gloom in her heart seemed to disappear temporarily.

"It's just a leak in the wine."

She pointed to the stains of alcohol on her chest.

"It's almost evening now, would you like me to take you home, sister?"

Ai Kiyoi's smile is beautiful and has a unique sense of intimacy.

'Little sister'

Tsunade tried hard to recall Kiyoi Ai's name; wouldn't it be too rude of her to say she had forgotten it now?

"No need, I'll take Shizune back with me."

After saying that, Tsunade got up, pulled Shizune along, and walked out, while Kiyoi Ai just waved to them.

Seeing Tsunade's forlorn figure, Kiyoi Ai felt extremely fortunate.

She was incredibly lucky to meet her brother during her most desperate time, to become his sister, and to eventually marry him as she wished.

This sister is so pitiful.

Meanwhile, Kiyoi Gen arrived at the entrance of Konoha Village with Kazesa.

The two had only stood there for a short while when they saw Jiraiya walking towards them from a distance.

"source?"

Jiraiya was quite surprised to see Kiyoi Gen at the entrance.

"It's nothing, I just came to see you off, I don't have any gifts."

"Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this unique greeting, Jiraiya laughed and patted Kiyoi Gen on the shoulder.

"I never expected that I, the Toad Immortal, would have friends to see me off before I leave."

Kiyoshi Gen brushed his shoulder, which had been patted, with a look of disgust.

"I don't recall having a friend who would peep into women's bathhouses."

"Forehead"

Jiraiya was speechless.

"Never mind! I'm already very satisfied that someone would go out of their way to wait for me here."

"Your name will be in the Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant!"

After saying that, Jiraiya waved to Kiyoi and the other two with his back to them, and strode out.

His mission is not yet complete; he still needs to find the enemy that threatens Konoha and the safety of the world.

And

Jiraiya thought of the many people and ninjas he had encountered during his travels in the Land of Fire.
